History
I purchased the car in October 23rd, 1998 I am the 3rd owner. I was 18, 3 months out of high school, and worked my butt off to pay for her. I didn't know much about the 60's era Chevy muscle at the time, just that I wanted one for myself. After driving her home, and reading every book, magazine I could, I stared decoding and learning a lot about the Camaro I purchased.
The back story of the car is the original owner started restoring it in the mid 80's, and due to health issues, passed away. The wife and son sold it in pieces to the second owner who reassembled it, gave it some paint and drove it till he sold it to me in 98. The word is the car had a BBC that was losing power and that is why the car was getting restored. The bad part is the original motor has been lost and never found.
